Day 19: Remove and move text as needed.

I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil.

Much of what we do when we edit is cut text, i.e., use the scissors. We cut text for three reasons:

  1. To simplify confusing sentences,
  2. To remove unnecessary information, and
  3. To move ideas to a more logical position.

 

 

 

 

The revision process is more difficult than the writing process. You need to examine your text critically and make important decisions on what you write, why you write it, and how you write it. Like us, you will likely find yourself using the scissors.
